Online optimization of complex transportation systems

From MaRDI portal





The paper adresses the evaluation of online algorithms for the optimization of complex transportation problems arising in internal logistics management of real-world production and manufacturing systems. In particular, the paper first presents basic techniques for the design of online optimization algorithms for some of these problems. Then it concentrates on the analysis of their behavior to give support to the critical decision that must determine which algorithm is the most appropriate one in a particular setting of the problem. To this end, several alternative comparative techniques, beyond classical competitive analysis, are presented, as competitive analysis against restricted adversaries and under reasonable load, a-posteriori analysis and comparative simulation. The authors illustrate, by means of several examples, that only the additional insight gained by using a combination of these techniques is able to provide convincing advice to decision makers. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0971.00007].
